Manchester United supporters urged Sporting Lisbon to let Bruno Fernandes join the Red Devils after seeing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ’s top midfield transfer target score against Setabul on Saturday night. The Portugal international doubled Sporting’s lead at the Estadio do Bonfim amid speculation he is set to leave the Lisbon giants to head to Old Trafford. Fernandes showed no sign of the rumours clouding his thoughts as he stepped up from the penalty spot to dispatch the spot-kick he had just won. Fernandes’ goal, which he celebrated by running the corner cupping his ears, prompted a flurry of tweets from United fans clearly tuning into the action, many of whom are eager to see him leave the Primeira Liga for the Premier League. One United fan, clearly eager to see a deal happen this month, said: "Now sub him and send him to United."
